Doing so would provide those us watching on TV two important services.
First, we would not have witness those we voted for because they
promised to “do the right thing,†applauding the man who has done more
wrong than any President in our nation's history. Second it would
allow us to identify those serving in Congress who are either truly
stupid or incurably corrupt, because who else – at this point, after
all that's happened – who else would applaud and cheer such a man?
Nothing would speak louder, to this President, to the nation and to
the world, than silence Tuesday night. Stand, but stand as you do when
the casket is rolled down the church aisle at a funeral mass. Stand in
silence, in respect for the office of the Presidency and in mourning
for the ways the current holder of that office has abused it, disgrace
it and in so doing, disgraced us all.
So, email this to your elected representative before Tuesday
night's State of the Union. Tell them that, since they can't screw up
the courage to remove the festering tumor, the least they can do is not
applaud him.
Don't ya think?
Silence is the most perfect expression of scorn.
- George Bernard Shaw
